I've lived in quite a few properties in the Plano/Richardson area and the Bentley Place at Willow Bend was definitely one of the best (top 3). The floor plans were very spacious and well designed.
I lived near the back of the property in a corner unit on the first floor. There was always more than enough parking, which is unusual for most apartments. The gates were broken on occasion but not as much as most places.
Management was always nice and fairly competent. They could be a little better in some areas, but I'd say they were about average.
Issue and work orders were usually resolved in a timely manner. Sean was always nice and cordial when he came to fix issues.
My main problem with the place was the excessively high electric bills. They were always $250-$350 a month. I noticed my thermostat was not working properly and management installed a programmable electric one for me. I'd never lived on the first floor but I figured electric bills were more reasonable compared to upper level units. Not here. My bills were still relatively high, even after the thermostat change. The insulation is just not that great. One of the bedrooms also hardly ever got enough air through the AC as did the rest of the apartment. Management did try their best to remedy the problem though, so kudos to them!
Overall, I'd recommend Bentley Place to anyone. Great place to live. Quiet. And the location is fantastic. Just be aware your bills will be a little higher compared to other places.
